The declaration of Captain John B. Fisher of the County of Larue and state of Kentucky, made in order to receive such compensation as he may be entitled to under the Act of Congress of the 25 th of April 1808 entitled an act relative to Invalid Pensions
Aged 78 years on the 1 st day of March 1846
Who states that he enlisted for three years in the County of Botatot and State of Virginia on the 17 th day of June 1792 under Lieutenant Stephen Trigg and that he sworn in before Robert Harvey justice of the peace in and for said County. And that about the 1 st of August he marched at the Town of Pattersburg under the command of Captain William Preston and on the next day we started for Fort Pitt and at said place we joined the Regular Army commanded by General Anthony Wayne from thence to Legionville on the Ohio River and we remained there upto sometime in the spring of the year of 1793 at which time we started down said River and landed at or near the now City of Cincinnati from thence we marched to Greenville and arrived there sometime in the month of August 1793 it being head quarters; And that he marched to Fort Jefferson and that he was at said place at the time it was attacked by the Indians and that Captain Hartshorn was killed; and that he was shot in his left hip in attempting to rescue said Captain and to prevent the enemy from scalping him; and he returned to Greenville on horse back and attended to by Doctor Gother and that he was not able to walk

for the space of four weeks; And that before he entirely recovered of the aforesaid wound he was appointed orderly sergeant of the Generals staff and that he acted as such up to the latter part of the year 1793 at which time a company of Rifle rangers was raised out of the regular army and that he was commissioned Captain of said Company by General Wayne and that James Towles was his lieutenant, and that he was engaged in scouring the Country and in the month of May 1794 he had an engagement with the Indians on the Ogleaze River they were concealed in the brush along the bank of the River and fired on the Company commanded by William Wells and we defeated them, and his orderly sergeant James Mahawney was killed and James Thompson and Henry Blackburn and two wounded, we killed Eight of the enemy and took three prisoners. And about the 1st of July the army started for the Indian Towns and on our arrival found them evacuated and at said place we erected Fort Defiance, and that he and his Company attack a party of Indians at the plum orchard and fired on them and they fled to the brush and that he took one Pottawalamy prisoner at said time: He was also in the General engagement near the rapids of the Miami of the Lakes on the 20th of August 1794 and was ordered with his Company to join the right wing commanded by Major Springer and was ordered to dislodge the Indians that was in the Prairie and concealed in the grass which we did and drove them to the timber and that he was in advance of his Company and that he came in contact with an Indian who struck him in the

head with his tomahawk and knocked him down and when he recovered he seen an Indian laying dead with in three or four feet of where he fell; And that his Lieutenant James Towles assisted him to a log and that he was not able to walk on account of weakness occasioned by the loss of blood; He was attended to by a friendly Indian of his Company, which was the only Doctor he had at that time by the name of Bluebell. And that he remained in the service of the United States up to the time the Army was discharged after the treaty with the Indians at Greenville in 1795. And in crossing the Allegheny River in a bark canoe he lost his papers money Commission and Close. He then went to the state of Pennsylvania and remained in the County of Berie about eight months and returned to the County of Botetot and state of Virginia and on the 14 th of October 1801 he inter married with one Mary Leffedge in the County of Bedford and state of Virginia and remained there up to the 17 th of October 1803. At said time I started for Kentucky and settled in the County of Montgomery and remained there up to the 20 th of September 1843, and then went to the County of Larue. He would further state that the aforesaid ball was not taken out and it still remains in his hip and the older he gets the more it injures him. And that he proved a part of his ser- vices by Peter Marks a part of the aforesaid Captain Prestons Company he the said Marks was discharged at Greenville and returned home on account of his health Before I was Commissioned Captain as aforesaid, and not being able to prove my entire services at that time I was advised to rely on the proof of the aforesaid Peter Marks: and that I received a certificate allowing

me eight dollars per month as a privet in Captain Prestons Company of the fourth Regiment. to commence on the 4 th of May 1835. And dated the 21 st day of July 1835. And the only reason that I have to give in not applying sooner for additional pay for my service is that I was not apprised that I could prove my entire services until within six weeks last past And that my occupation has been and still is that of an humble farmer. And that he is not on the pension list of any State. Only on that of the agency of the state of Kentucky as before stated as a privet at the rate of Eight dollars per month: and that this is the first attempt made by me for an additional Pension or that of the pay as a Captain for known Wounds received whilst in the line of my duty and actively engaged with the hostile Indians on the aforesaid 20 th of August 1794 at which time I was taken prisoner as before stated: And relying on the justice of my cause and the proof in the case your humble. respondent would ever pray &c

Montgomery County State of Kentucky
Set.
On this 7 th day of April 1834, personally appeared in open court, before Levi Y. Millspaugh, John Berry and Travis Duncan. The court of the county aforesaid, now sitting, John B. Fisher, a citizen of Kentucky and a resident in Montgomery County thereof, aged Sixty Six years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following statement and declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed on the _____ day of _____ in the year _____, for the relief and benefit of soldiers, &c. wounded and disabled in the army and service of the United States.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers and served and was wounded as therein stated. On the 22 nd day of October 1791, I enlisted into the service of the United States, under Capt. Stephen Trigg, for a term of three years, in the county of Botetourt State of Virginia: and marched from there, under the command of said Capt. Trigg, to Cincinnati; after we arrived at Cincinnati, I was placed under the command of Capt. William Preston, under whom I marched to Fort Jefferson, near the Rapids, and arrived there on the 18 th day of February 1792. — I was then and there attached to the 4 th Regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Clark, — and continued in the service, in that section of country, and at Greenville, until the 19 th day of October 1794. in which time we had frequent, and some very sharp and active skirmishing with the Indians. On the 20 th August 1794, I was engaged, against the Indians, in the battle at the Rapids — called and known as Wayne's general engagement, in that action I received a wound from a musket  Rifle Ball, which lodged in my left hip, and which has never been extracted, — immediately after which, in the same engagement, I received another wound on the top of my head, by a stroke from a Soma-Hawk which penetrated entirely through the skull-bone, and

and brought me to the ground, senseless, and for a time, apparently dead; I also received a blow from a war-club which dislocated my wrist. I further state that, although I bore the honorable scars of my service, I never knew, until very recently, that I could establish my service by any living witness in this country; when I heard of Capt. Hastings Marks who knew my service, and whose deposition accompanies this my declaration: Another reason why I have not heretofore applied for a pension is, that, through the Mercy of God and the assistance of my family I have hitherto been able to receive an humble support; but my family has now gone from me, and left me in my old age desolate; and being unable to acquire a support from labour, I am reluctantly compelled, from necessity, to throw myself upon the charity of my Country's bounty — that country in whose service I received those wounds which disable me from drawing a support from the sweat of the brow. On the 19 th October 1794, at The Rapids, I was honourably and regularly discharged from the service, and received a written certificate of my discharge; but which I since lost in crossing a River, by the upsetting of a Canoe, when I lost my clothes and pocket-book in which my certificate was. I was born on the 1 st March 1768, in the State of Pennsylvania, subsequently moved to Virginia; and 29 years ago last February, moved to the State of Kentucky, and at present reside in Montgomery County thereof. — I further state that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State in the United States.

You are advised that the Bureau has exhausted all the means in its power to trace the surviving of a John B. Fisher concerning the disposition of the claim and husband.
After a careful examination of the papers in the claim and comparison of signatures the Bureau is of the opinion that the John B. Fisher who served in Capt. Gallagher's Co. of Key Stone Battery was not the claimant husband.
The claimant husband received twenty pounds and was dismissed from service received in the Wayne Road in 1794. Her sub-

Read who is now dead got his land warrant for him. He drew a pension up to his death, which occurred in 1870. and his signature is to a great many papers in Washington. I sent all the papers to Washington with his own signature upon them. If is made examination of the papers in Washington, his signature can be found. I can prove that he is the same John B.

Dear Sir
I received letter yours to day. I have made every effort to find the name of John B. Fisher written by himself. but every paper he executed he made his mark. He was very old & his hand trembled badly & I do not recollect whether he wrote his name or not. He came to this County from Montgomery County Ky. in the year 1844. He owned a farm in that County & sold it about the year 1843 or 4 to a man by the name of Maupin I think. Please write to the County Clerk of Montgomery County & see if he signed the deed he made to the land. He had some suits in the Circuit Court in that County. He may have signed some papers in the suits in that Court. I have done all I can to get up the proof. I am able to prove that he is the same John B. Fisher that served in the war of 1812. by such

who have heard him say that he was in the war of 1812 & always claimed to be in that service

Dear Sir -
I dont like to bother you & seem to be unfortunate about my claim, for a pension as the widow of John B. Fisher, who was a soldier in the war of 1812, but I am so convinced of the justness of my claim, & I need its benefits, that I must do all I can to establish my claim. I thank you very much for the investigations you have made & the willingness expressed & shown on your part to assist me, & feel satisfied that you have done the very best for me that you could. Now I wish to make this statement which may throw some light on the subject - My husband, while he was alive has told me often all about his campaign, as a soldier, in that war, and said that he belonged to Governor Shelby's Kentucky Militia &c, & designated to me the places that he was at & the battles he was in during the war - Now when I refer to the history of that war, written by Robert B. McAffee, in the year 1816, I find a confirmation of all that My husband

told me - I find that the Kentucky Militia under Gov Shelby rendered great & invaluable aid to the Government, and as the history says "without their aid the general government could not have brought the campaign to a successful issue." Now this same history says " that this Action on the part of Gov Shelby in calling out this Militia & bringing them into the field was not authorized by the Government, but was afterwards not only approved by the State of Ky, but also by the executive of the Nation & the voice of the nation. "
Now I say, My husband John B. Fisher belonged to this Militia & with the others was regularly mustered out of service by Gov Shelby - and may it not be Sir, that as the raising of this Militia was not ordered by the war department, that this is the reason that you fail to find proper records on file in that office - with what I have stated above, may you not be able to find some record of this action of Gov Shelby, and thus be enabled to assist me in my just claim - If you will take the trouble to give this an investiga- tion, you will place me under great obligations, & assist me in a just claim. Yours truly - Juliet Fisher

Dear Sir
Yours of the 28 th ultimo came to hand this morning and contents noted, you say that John B Fisher's Claim for Bounty land has been examined and suspended for want of proper proof. Mr Fisher tells me that he is of the opinion that he cannot make any further or additional proof more than what he has made from the fact that he at this time does not know of any individuals living who were with him in the Campaign of 1792, save those two. Mr Andrew Long and William Bowlin who have already as you are assured given their affidavits which accompanied his application and are now on file with the land, Long and Bowlin both have applied for Bounty land Long received a warrant for 160. acres, Bowlin for 80 acres and has parted with it the No. of which he does not recollect, Bowlin as yet has received no warrant as he informs me. I think if I mistate not that Long and Bowlin have proven in Fisher's case by their affidavits all the points that you have informed is necessary to be proven with one exception and that is the No. of Long's warrant, which fact cannot be established by him from the facts above

alluded to, Mr. Fisher is quite an old man and of very good standing in his community. So are also the two witnesses, Smith Lang and Bowlin who are very old and exceedingly clean truthful men, I have no doubt of the justice of Fisher's claim at all, and think it a hardship in his case, It may be that Mr. J P Dechaine's duplicate of the contract leg- is incorrect; if you are still of the opinion under the circumstances that his claim can not be reconsidered and passed. You will please advise me of the fact at your earliest convenience.
Yours truly

Commissioner of Pensions
I have been trying for some time to get a pension on account of my Dec d husband's services in the war of 1812. I have confided the matter to certain parties who I am confident have got the matters wrong in presenting them to your department & hence my petition was rejected, and so I thought the best thing for me to do would be to write direct to you & give you a plain statement of the facts in the case -
1 st My husband John B. Fisher died in the year 1870 in Hodgenville Ky - he served in the war of 1812, as a Captain in Gov Shelby's Militia, and the Col of the Regiment in which he (My husband) was Captain was named Col Butler - My husband was at the battle of Fort Meigs & Detroit &c, My husband enlisted in the war I think at Mt Sterling, Montgomery County Kentucky & was mustered out when the Militia of Kentucky under Gov Shelby was mustered out - He was granted a land warrant for his services in the
P.S. All these facts that I have stated certainly are recorded in the proper department at Washington City.

war of 1812 & that land warrant he sold to one W m M c Clanahan who located the land in Misso ri , but I have been unable to get a trace of it.
Now I think all the trouble grows out of this - The persons who have had my claim in charge have got things confused & have confounded the war of 1812, with the indian war, of 1793 & 4 in both of which my husband served, & he drew a pension in the last named war which expired at his death - He also had a land warrant for each of the wars.
It has been represented to your department by those having my claim in charge that my husband was a private in Captain Eln is Company Ky Militia - Now I say that is a mistake & that my husband John B. Fisher was the Captain of his own company & belonged to Col Shelby's Ky Militia & served with them & was with them mustered out.
I do not like to bother you but I know my claim is just, & I need its benefit & I know my claims have been improperly presented to you & I thought I would write to you directly & make a plain statement of leading facts which I hope will enable you to grant my claim by putting you on the right track to allow it, I hope you will give this letter your attention and if I am entitled to what I ask - & I know I am, assist me in getting my rights & I will be much obliged Juliet Fisher
